  4. Decorate the dark fantasy castle

    • Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top edge to create a drip effect.
    • Pipe buttercream towers and battlements to build the castle silhouette.
    • Add a sword and rose details with the remaining chocolate and buttercream.
    • Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a misty, gothic finish.
